Superantigen-like gene(s) in human pathogenic<i>Streptococcus dysgalactiae</i>, subsp.<i>equisimilis</i>: genomic localisation of the gene encoding streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin G (<i>speG^dys</i>)

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) causes about 90% of streptococcal human infections while group C (GCS) and G (GGS) streptococci can be pathogenic for different mammalians. Especially the human pathogenic GCS and GGS, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, subsp. equisimilis, account for 5-8% of the human streptococcal diseases like wound infections, otitis media, purulent pharyngitis and also streptococcal toxic shock...
